FBS recommendation for HEK293T cells

dear all,
i just have ordered HEK293T cells from openbiosystems, Catalog number: HCL4517

in the manual they recommend certain FBS type (Thermo Scientific Hyclone No.: 30014.03), but the minimum amount that can be ordered is 100l and i will never use it off, since we actually just plan to include the cells in our cell line library. My question is: have you experience with this type of cells? could you recommend another lot of FBS? or do you know how to get a trying exemplar of the recommended one?

It's also not unusual to test serum batches before you buy them. That is, you can ask them to provide you a "sample" of that particular serum. So you can try it (compare to your normal serum). And then you suddenly realize that it's not good at all, and don't have buy the 100l.
